Half Tights

Benefits & Features

Need something shorter than the long tights but still want to support your quads and hammies? Our SKINS A400 Men’s Half Tights have been developed to help improve your performance on the field, in the gym and on the track.

Our A400 Men’s Half Tights are constructed from five different technical fabrics allowing for optimal dynamic gradient compression to your larger leg muscles. They also provide controlled pressure and support to the ITB and TFL muscle groups which are at high risk of injury during running. In short, that means you get better performance with a reduced risk of injury. You’re welcome!

We’ve also added A-Seams for maximum durability without chafing so you can focus on your training drills or run in complete comfort. In addition we’ve included an easily accessible waistband pocket so you can safely and comfortably store a key during your run.

Want to stand out in the dark? We’ve added 360-degree, premium glass bead reflectivity to make sure you’re seen by other road users in low light conditions.

Give yourself the secret edge by combining these half tights with any A400 top for the ultimate training set.Train harder, perform better and recover faster!

Controlled pressure over ITB and TFL muscle groups

ADAPTIVE Technology keeps you warm when it’s cold and cool when it’s hot

The logos are all made from premium reflective glass bead technology. By day, it's sleek looking graphics but in low light they come alive with powerful reflectivity.

Fabric Technology

50+ UV Protection

SKINS proven 50+ UV protection.

Warp Knit

SKINS compression fabric is made from a warp knitted mix of yarns that give you a carefully calculated level of stretch for controlled compression and durability.

ADAPTIVE by HeiQ

At low temperatures, the unique polymer binds moisture in its structure keeping you feeling warm and dry. As your temperature increases it changes its properties, releasing stored moisture to the surface where it evaporates and cools your skin.

The world's best training clothes. I spend a lot of time at the gym and require good clothes. Skins meet the requirements on all points. If you have the opportunity, buy Skins! You will not regret it.

The brand name says it all! Feels like a second skin and also really supports the muscles. Feels good and looks good! The best tight I ever bought. One remark: I am in between sizes and I bought the langer size

Its ideal for every runner. It may cost more than the usual but it really helps. Keeps the muscle tight. You avoid injuries and they are not that tight. Very easy to wear them.

A very good product. Well constructed. I think the size chart needs to be improved.
I should have ordered a different size in all my products.

Bit longer than the last pair, loving the change of position of the key pocket, not a fan of the change of waist band though.

They look great on and have excellent compression. The waistband is very constricting even though I purchased the correctly sized product. The A400 cut and materials are top notch, but the front portion of the waistband needs to be designed better so it's not as tight.

I have 7 other Skins and these just don’t fit right,way too tight,even though all my skins are a medium.

Perfect shorts for workouts. Aesthetically nicer than the A400 power shorts. They provide less compression, but they are more comfortable.

First things first....I only weat skins half tights as no other make comes close. However this latest pair have lost there logos in the wash and I am not sure about the new wasteband. My A200 do not roll as they are lower but these A400 are prone to rolling up/down slightly after wearing for a while. I cycle a lot and spin so this can happen. Overall better than othets still but the logo things is disappointing.

I cannot wear these for any length of time. I hoped they would stretch with use / become more flexible - there is no pouch for men

I have tried many many dif brands of compression shorts. Active with hiking and climbing and the Skins A400 are the very best I have had. Firm-tight control and holds everything where it should be. Air vent in the lower section really helps.

I have always used A200 in the past and couldn't pass up the chance to try A400 especially when they where in the sale. I have to say fantastic, they are tight but boy do they do the job 10/10 for me

Pretty disappointed with these. I'm a competitive cyclist and have a number of skins items that I use during training ( tights, bib shorts, arm warmers ) all of which I've found really good and long lasting. However I haven't felt any benefit from these shorts, perhaps my expectations were too high after reading the promo write ups. Ive worn them under my team kit for the last few races, he waste is very tight, backache tight (!) but support around the thighs seems very minimal, and I've got quite big thighs. Would I recommend these? Simply NO I wouldn't, no real benefit, the fit is poor and they were very expensive.

The A400 replaced new A200 which was kindly done by Skins under warranty. The compression part of the tights are still fine but the waste band is ridiculously tight. He says they give him a stomach ache (and he has a flat stomach).There is no give in it at all. I have to go and buy another pair and he has hardly grown.

A week skiing while wearing these compression shorts, skiing between 40-50km and 12k-15k vertical feet a day.. and no lactic acid build up whatsoever (I'm not very fit)! At no point on the trip did i wake up feeling like my legs were full of lead, no stiffness at all.. absolutely love them. I will be buying another pair of the shorts and a long sleeved top as my recovery time after exercise with these is just amazing.

I've torn my hamstrings a few times and this allows me to continue playing rugby with the confidence to sprint and run at 100% without the fear of my hammys going again! Very comfortable too!

I've never owned any pair of compression shorts, so unable to compare. These are pretty good for first thoughts, though the first time i pulled them on, I broke some stitching. I also thought they were made in Australia, not Thailand.

These really do everything that they say they do and more. The fit is very snug around every muscle group, in a tailored way. Excellent job, SKINS!

Just bought a pair of A400 and it's A-W-E-S-M-O-E !!! Much more comfortable then 2XU. The only drawback is the top part of rubber inside the waistband tends to be moving around. Should have sew the top part of the rubber as well and lastly, it's a bit too pricey. Or else, it deserve a 5-star.

I had some A200 shorts and thought that these sounded better because they are termed as half tights. It even says 'Leg length finishes just above the knee to cover the quad muscles'

Now I am not sure if the person in the pictures has very short legs but in my case the medium finishes much higher especially when I exercise, it then rides up the leg so the lower part of the quad is not covered. I am 6" 2' and it does say the medium sizing can go well over 6" 5'. SO not quite sure what is going on with them but the described and shown length for me is untrue.

On the plus side I can feel the compression, they do sit well but the length just is not what I expected and I did want to look after the lower ITB and quad.
